Dear Alice,

I have been doing a web search on prevention of Shigellosis and Giardia during Rimming — we are having an outbreak in our area in the MSM [men who have sex with men] population — and yours is only one of two sites that gives useful and accurate information on the risks of rimming.

More info on the use of barriers — such as putting a few drops of lube on the anus before placing the barrier — might be helpful for your readers.

Keep up the good work.
